It was tempting to try out some Magnepan 1.7's ... but the required amplifier (as per their suggestion) and somewhat lacking for use in a home theater tilted the decision to the Martin Logans.

I have heard Maggies on several occasions, and they struck me as a fun speaker, but not one I would want to have as my only two channel system.

It's only two days until the visit to Axiom ... wonder if Ian will be smart enough to lock the doors before I get there!
